Depp was honored on Sunday night with the MTV Movie Awards’ Generation Award, the show’s own version of a lifetime achievement award, which has previously been presented to the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Ben Stiller and Sandra Bullock.

But before Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry presented their pal with the prestigious trophy, The Hollywood Reporter took a walk down memory lane with the stars in attendance. Asked to name their favorite Depp movie of all time, the attendees responded with a resounding four answers: Pirates of the Caribbean (the first one, not the sequels), Blow, Edward Scissorhands and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

Above, find a sampling of responses from the many, many Depp fans on the red carpet. Below, watch as Depp takes the stage at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City to perform with The Black Keys as he accepts his award.
